pickFrying Plantain, by Zalika Reid-Benta (2019 🇨🇦)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: Interconnected stories about growing up in a first-generation Jamaican-Canadian family.
Review: This is a very strong collection, well-written, with a lot of heart. Toronto‘s Eglinton West neighbourhood really comes alive, as the main character and her mother are pushed toward and pulled away from it. ⬇️
I've read exactly 2/100 from this list.
Clockwork Orange and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Tagging anyone who hasn't yet tortured themselves with this list. #tlt you can find the list in @dabbe 's post.

pick3.5/5 ⭐️ This adventure traveled over land and sea and I enjoyed it all. I even shed some tears here and there.
